I&#39;m surprised Rod needed to bring out the big guns all at once, but I guess it&#39;s a bit of a dead period for his intended audience.<br /><br />It&#39;s hilarious how worked up some people get over plain text. Just because a blogger posts something doesn&#39;t mean he/she believes in it. Whatever generats hits - doesn&#39;t matter if it&#39;s fact or fiction. Kind of sad really - it&#39;s become hard to distinguish between honest opinion and generating profit on blogs.

That being said the business climate and support could possibly be in place sooner than one might think.<br /><br />As a proud Regina resident I would think that Saskatoon would be the logical place for an NHL team, They have the building, are centrally located and the Riders are in Regina, spread the municipal reponsibilities around.<br /><br />If the people in charge of hockey ban fighting and can not protect the current players how do they expect to police the game without fighting. Take the Jamie Heward incident as one prime example. I agree with the idea of a larger ice surface as well to help end injuries.<br /><br />JCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364733.post-4132448482207610592012-03-02T18:17:16.528-06:002012-03-02T18:17:16.528-06:00Since dickhead I mean Obama is on vacation I guess...Since dickhead I mean Obama is on vacation I guess Rod has to be the one to post stuff to stir it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364733.post-78636950688933641392012-03-02T18:11:34.898-06:002012-03-02T18:11:34.898-06:00Rod, Rod, Rod.......don&#39;t paint every picture ...Rod, Rod, Rod.......don&#39;t paint every picture with the same brush.

Regina will never have Saskatoon&#39;s beauty or attractiveness to those from outside the province, and you need to come to terms with that. Your jealousy will not serve you or your city, and it will ultimately lead you to further problems as Saskatoon pulls away from Regina even further than we already have.<br /><br />Even though we really don&#39;t care, we urge you to seek help before you&#39;re put out to pasture like other irrelevant Regina media figures, like Bob Hughes.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />All but five people in Saskatoon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364733.post-31921509224048428922012-03-02T17:46:27.546-06:002012-03-02T17:46:27.546-06:00Come on Rod!

I really lost respect for you in this latest blog!<br />The whole &quot;code&quot;, &quot;be a man&quot;, and &quot;fear of fighting&quot; arguments are insulting and indicate what is wrong in a weak weak product. Why do players need to police the game? Why can&#39;t officials do that job as in most major sports?<br />Getting rid of fighting, widening the ice surface, and enforcing tough cheap shot rules could also improve the game. Marginal players could be eliminated from the sport, and speed and skill could be made more important.<br />The current hockey mindset is really sad. I find players attacking others, and essentially bullying, not entertaining at all. Nothing frustrates me more than seeing a bunch of goons rouging up smaller, skilled players. Is that what you are supporting?Changing these rules at the pro level would influence all leagues. Most importantly, the younger leagues, where people are more impressionable, would change in mindset. There is a serious lack of respect in hockey right now. The threat of getting beat up is the way to police it? Who did you quote? Do all players agree? How does that sound Rod?

And the rest will flame you for not sharing their own opinion on a given matter. Please don&#39;t put any stock into what a lot of these anonymous idiots have to say. The stronger you feel about something, the more important it is for you to air it on your blog. Please keep the great columns coming!!<br /><br />Furthermore, when we include fighting in ANY sport, what are we teaching our kids? When you have a problem with what someone did on the school ground, you are to drop your &quot;mits&quot; and beat him until his head bounces off the ground?<br /><br />I don&#39;t care for the sport of hockey, and probably never will. If I want to watch fighting, I will go to a &quot;School Of Hard Knocks&quot; event. Watching trained MMA fighters is far better value than watching Hockey players square off at centre ice.
